I meant that an incident in Russia would make a much bigger news in media than in Spain etc

Just because a lot of people might support shooting Muslims, doesn’t mean it should be given credence by a politician of a developed nation. It’s backlash in the west against the same kind of extremism found in the Middle East being accepted in the west. 

I'm more talking about the him being egged by that boy and people cheering that.

Unpopular opinion

I don't get the vile the Australian senator is getting he just said that out openly which a lot of people have on their mind. A lot of memebers here will agree with him to certain degrees i reckon.

In the city. I parked in a spot I've parked at for years, and in less than 2 hours came back to no motorcycle In a parking spot on the street. Gone between 6.30 and 8.30 pm

Japan has hunted 333 whales from December to February in the North Pacific ! crazy 

In my personal opinion no one will be replacing the US as the superpower and the West in general for a long long time than we think whether China, Russia etc 

People like to convey, colonialism is over. In reality, they have simply privatized state colonization. Today, Europe is penetrating markets in Africa in the form of sectoral free trade and subsidies, and is still substantially destroying these countries. Europe has won almost all the important resources from Mauritania to Cameroon (especially France).

Yeah I thought it would be right up your alley  If you like this style of "big history" books I highly recommend Why the West Rules—For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future by Ian Morris. It's a massive read (some 700 pages) but it completely blew my mind.

For Now Soon it will be in East where it truly belongs

I suspect I'm a rare case. I didn't live with my wife at all until the day we got married. 

Hadn't even slept over or gone on a holiday before that.

When the baby's mother died during the birth, her parents donated her heart. Watch out for the guy in the black shirt. He's the one who took the heart!

Yep

In Singapore a child's mom died giving birth. The heart of the mom was donated to a person . The child when was hold by that person gave reactions that looks like he recognized the heart beat of his mother

Semester's over and I managed to find this badboy in the library:

"Buying Time: The delayed crisis of democratic capitalism". Literally it's "Bought Time" but that doesn't match the English expression.

The author came to do a lecture at the law school at Glasgow Uni in the summer and I've been meaning to read one of his books ever since. Also been wanting to keep my German fresh, so I was very glad to find the original edition in the library.

I'm hoping I can get a few books read before Christmas.

Just finished this. I liked the fairly straightforward way of explaining a lot of the economic developments between the EU and America, and the EU and the southern states, but overall the tone was a bit dull and self-righteous. For a layman like me it was worth the effort of persisting with and reading through, but not the most captivating read.

Next up I've got this on loan from the library. I wrote my honours dissertation partly on Walter Eucken's legal thought, so I thought it would interesting to read his major economic work.

It's allowed in the laws of the game but don't think anyone can deny it's still a shitty way to go about things. I don't agree that it should be a law and should be scrapped but anyone moaning about it so vociferously needs to check the rules.

Perhaps if there's always so much uproar about it the rule needs to be eradicated or if not, at least clarified.

I don't have any problem with the rule and its pretty clear i'd say
